School psychologist job in Siler City, NC
Job Description
We are seeking a licensed Clinical Psychologist or School Psychologist to provide essential psychological services, with a strong emphasis on diagnostic testing and evaluation, to level II Residential youth in North Carolina. This role focuses on conducting comprehensive diagnostic assessments, psychological interventions, and diagnosing residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in a residential setting that offers 24-hour care to promote independence, skill development, and community integration. Diagnostic testing will include intellectual functioning assessments evaluating cognitive abilities such as verbal and nonverbal reasoning, memory, and processing speed; personality assessments examining traits, emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns; behavioral assessments observing and evaluating behavior in various settings, including natural environments; and norm-referenced measures using standardized tests to compare an individual's performance against a larger group. Services must align with evidence-based practices, North Carolina General Statutes (including Chapter 122C for Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services; G.S. 90-270 for the Psychology Practice Act; and G.S. 58-3-192 for ASD coverage), and North Carolina Medicaid Clinical Coverage Policies, particularly Policy 8C (Outpatient Behavioral Health Services Provided by Direct-Enrolled Providers) and Policy 8F (Research-Based Behavioral Health Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder).
The position emphasizes culturally competent, age-appropriate care in natural environments, with a focus on comprehensive diagnostic assessments, individualized treatment plans, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams. As a direct-enrolled Medicaid provider, the psychologist will ensure all services are medically necessary, supported by DSM-5 diagnoses, and compliant with ethical standards from the North Carolina Psychology Board and the American Psychological Association. For beneficiaries under 21, services may qualify under Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) provisions if they ameliorate defects or conditions.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities - Child Treatment & Development:
Conduct comprehensive diagnostic assessments and diagnostic testing using standardized, culturally appropriate tools (e.g., CPT codes 96130-96133 for psychological evaluation, 96136-96139 for test administration and scoring) to assess cognitive, psychological, and functional impairments, informing treatment plans and ASD/IDD diagnoses per Policy 8C and 8F requirements. This includes:
Intellectual functioning assessments to evaluate cognitive abilities, including verbal and nonverbal reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
Personality assessments to examine personality traits, emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns.
Behavioral assessments involving observation and evaluation of a person's behavior in various settings, including natural environments within the group home.
Utilization of norm-referenced measures, such as standardized tests, to compare an individual's performance against a larger normative group for accurate diagnosis and intervention planning.
Provide psychological interventions such as individual, group, and family psychotherapy (e.g., CPT codes for psychotherapy services), crisis intervention (e.g., psychotherapy for crisis under Policy 8C), and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms, improve functioning in social, educational, and occupational domains, and support habilitation goals in the group home setting.
Perform diagnosing for ASD and other IDD conditions, ensuring diagnoses are based on DSM-5 criteria, scientifically validated tools, and documented evidence of functional impairment; collaborate with physicians or other licensed professionals as needed.
Develop and oversee individualized treatment or habilitation plans, incorporating diagnostic findings, environmental adaptations, and skill-building techniques (e.g., social skills instruction, video modeling) while ensuring generalization across residential routines like meals, recreation, and daily living.
Collect and analyze data on resident outcomes using objective measures, maintain accurate records compliant with 10A NCAC 27G standards, HIPAA, and Medicaid documentation requirements (e.g., service notes supporting medical necessity and billed CPT/HCPCS codes).
Participate in crisis response, commitment examinations (as an eligible psychologist under Chapter 122C), and interdisciplinary team meetings with physicians, ABA therapists, occupational therapists, and social workers to ensure cohesive, least-restrictive care.
Adhere to client rights under Chapter 122C, including dignity, privacy, informed consent for treatment (or advance instructions if incapable), and freedom from abuse; obtain necessary permissions for interventions in shared spaces and promote client self-determination.
Ensure services are provided in the group home or other natural settings (e.g., community access sites with approval),
Engage in ongoing professional development, cultural competency training, and quality assurance activities to maintain compliance with state and federal regulations, including recent parity updates removing quantitative and non-quantitative treatment limitations.
Other duties as assigned.
